Early-onset atopic dermatitis in children: which are the phenotypes at risk of asthma? Results from the ORCA cohort. by Flore Amat, Philippe Saint-Pierre, Emmanuelle Bourrat, Ariane Nemni, Rémy Couderc, Emmanuelle Boutmy-Deslandes, Fatiha Sahraoui, Isabelle Pansé, Martine Bagot, Sébastien Foueré, Jocelyne Just

“…The objective of this study is to define early-onset AD phenotypes leading to asthma.We performed a cluster analysis with 9 variables of 214 infants with early-onset AD prospectively enrolled in the ORCA cohort and followed each year on the occurrence of asthma until the age of 6.We identified 3 clusters - cluster 1 (n = 94) with low to no sensitization to food (27.7%) or aeroallergens (10.6%) and moderate AD severity (SCORAD 25.29 +/- 14.6) called "AD with low sensitization"; - cluster 2 (n = 84) characterized by a higher AD severity (SCORAD 32.66+/-16.6) and frequent sensitization to food (98.9%) or aeroallergens (26.2%), most likely multiple (96.4% for food allergens), called "AD with multiple sensitizations" - cluster 3 (n = 36) with parental history, moderate AD severity (SCORAD 24.46+/-15.7), moderate rate of sensitization to food allergens (38.9%) (exclusively single) with no sensitization to aeroallergens, called "AD with familial history of asthma". …”
